MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Note: The approximate vertical travel of the 71095/71096 Motor
Brackets is 13”. This travel is based on installation that’s
perpendicular to the water surface. The vertical travel will be less
than 13” if the installation is on a positive angled transom, and will
be more than 13” if installed on a negative angled transom. If your
transom angle is more than 10° out of perpendicular, we
recommend fabricating a wedged spacer out of a suitable material
such as starboard, aluminum or finished hardwood to allow your
installation to be perpendicular to the water surface. Failure to
follow these instructions can cause the actuator to retract below
a horizontal position. This may cause the pump to draw air and
fail to return to a stowed position. The outside dimensions should
be a minimum of 5-1/2" x 11-1/2", one for each mounting angle,
or a single piece 11-1/2" x 20-1/2".
1. The Motor Bracket is shipped in the mid-stroke position. To
complete installation, it is necessary to activate the Bracket
to full down position. Set the Bracket on a flat surface. With
a standard 12 volt battery, connect the green cable to the
positive terminal and the blue cable to the negative
terminal. This will cause the hydraulic cylinder to retract to

its shortest length or closed position. This is the full down
position for the motor bracket. Disconnect the negative
cable followed by the positive cable. (See Figures 1 and 2)
(continued)

2. Measure the distance on your outboard motor between the
cavitation plate and the upper inside edge of the mounting
clamp. Cut a stick to this length and tape it to the mounting
board with one end flush with the top of the board. (See
Fig. 3)
3. Choose the most appropriate side of your transom for
mounting the Bracket. Position your Bracket so it will not
interfere with the turning operation of your main motor or
rudder. Slide the Bracket up or down so that the bottom of
the stick is approximately 1” or 2” below the bottom of the
boat. Note: The bottom of the stick represents the cavitation
plate on your outboard which must be below the boat’s
bottom for best performance. Make sure the bracket is
parallel to the main power source or straight up and down
left to right. Mark 4 mounting holes. Note: Gain access to
the inside of the transom area where the installation is to
be bolted through. Make sure the area is clear of any fuel
or electrical lines. Because of the combined weight of the
motor and Bracket, it is highly recommended that backing
plates be used to help strengthen the installation. A
minimum size of 3/4” thick, 4-1/2” wide and 10-1/2”
long made from a marine grade plywood, aluminum or
starboard, one for each mounting flange. (See Fig. 3)

4. Drill 4 holes 17/32” diameter through transom. Make sure
drill bit is held perpendicular to the transom when drilling.
Drill one hole, 3/8” diameter in a suitable area between
the four 17/32” diameter holes to route electrical wires
from the actuator to the battery. (See Fig. 4)
5. Lay backing plates over mounting flanges so there is 1/2”
or more of overhang on all 4 sides. Mark 2 holes on each
backing plate and through drill 17/32” diameter. Make
sure holes are drilled perpendicular to surface.
6. Attach the Motor Bracket to the transom after coating the
inside surfaces of the mounting flanges and backing plates
with a marine adhesive/sealant compound. Apply a small
amount in each hole on both sides of the transom. Secure
in place with supplied hardware. Insert cable from
hydraulic actuator through 3/8” diameter hole in transom.
Allow enough slack for operation of actuator and caulk
cable in hole with marine grade silicone. (See Fig. 3)
FIG. 4 7. Electrical Select a suitable place on the cockpit coaming to
attach the activation switch. It is recommended that the
switch be located in an area that allows a visual sight line
to observe the Motor Bracket’s motion when activated. The
vertical surface selected should be accessible on the back
side for routing electrical wires.
Scribe a 7/8” x 1-5/8” rectangle which will be clearance
for the back side of the switch. Cut opening and feed plug
end of switch cable through first. Align switch in opening
with green wire on top. Mark four mounting holes, drill and
fasten with suitable fasteners.
From inside the boat, connect the actuator cable leads to
the relay cable leads. Connect black to blue and red to
green. Route relay cable to battery area. Mount relay to
suitable surface within 3 feet of battery.
Connect relay cable to switch cable by aligning 3 prong
plug with 3 cavity plug and mating full closed. Route the
flexible cable so it is not touching any hot surfaces or
laying in water. Make final connection to battery. Connect
red cable to positive (+) terminal on battery. Connect black
cable to negative terminal (-). Test switch by pressing on
top side of rocker button.
Bracket should come up. If bracket fails to rise, check all
connections and check reset button on inline fuse at battery
connection. Press on bottom side of rocker button and
bracket will descend. (See Fig. 5.)
8. Mount outboard on Motor Bracket. Center motor left to
right and clamp in place. It is recommended that 25 hp
motors and larger be fastened in place with stainless steel
bolts and locknuts of a suitable size as recommended by
the manufacturer. Using the motor mounting bracket as a
drill guide, through drill the mounting board and bolt in
place. Check the location of the two lowest mounting holes
on your outboard. If, when drilled, they are too close to the
welded angle bracket on the opposite side to allow
clearance for a bolt head or nut, then drill a suitable tap
diameter hole, thread it and fasten with the bolt,
eliminating the nut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. Press and hold the “up” switch. The motor and Bracket
should elevate and continue up until the actuator is fully
extended. Release Switch Note: the “whine” of the actuator
pump will change pitch when fully extended. Press and
hold the “down” switch. The motor and Bracket should
descend and continue until the actuator is fully retracted.
Release the switch. The stowed position while underway
with the main power is the full up position. If any part of
the lower unit is still in the water with the bracket in the full
up position, it is recommended that the motor be tilted to
clear the water. Note: It is recommended that the bracket
be in the full down position when using the auxiliary motor
that is mounted on it.
AUXILIARY OUTBOARD MOTOR BRACKET
IMPORTANT CAUTION GUIDELINES
1. Keep hands free of all moving parts.
2. Do not exceed stated weight or horse power.
3. Operate Bracket in lowest position possible for best
performance.
4. Operate motor at low speed.
5. Do not turn motor full left or right at full throttle as the
side forces could damage the Bracket and/or the boat
transom.
6. Always raise Bracket when not in use.
7. Always be aware of the motor and bracket extending
out the back of the boat when operating in and around
decks, slips and other boats.
8. Use of motor safety cable is highly recommended and
comes standard with 71095 (up to 25 HP).
SERVICE
To minimize wear, keep all 8 pivot points well lubricated with a
medium to heavy lubricating oil/grease. In a salt water
environment, it is recommended the bracket is periodically
washed with soap and fresh water and waxed with a good
grade marine polish/wax.
MANUAL RELEASE VALVE
This Motor Bracket Actuator is equipped with a manual release
valve. In an emergency, if the power source is unable to operate
the actuator and the motor needs to be lowered to operating
height, the manual release valve may be turned 3 to 4 turns
counterclockwise and the bracket will lower itself. When Bracket
is full down, the Manual Release Valve (A) must be turned
clockwise until seated. (See Fig. 6)
FIG. 6
CAUTION:
Do not apply electrical power to Bracket with manual release
valve in the open position, as O-rings within the actuator will be
damaged.
BLEEDING THE ACTUATOR
The actuator is filled with Dextron 111 (ATF) at the factory and
should not need periodic service. However, if the Bracket fails to
stow in the full up position, it may be low on fluid. Lower the
bracket to a position where access to the filler cap is available
and remove the filler cap. Add Dextron 111 (ATF) if available,
or Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid, approximately 1
oz. at a time, to reduce the chance of over filling. Leave the filler
cap off to allow any over fill to escape. Failure to follow these
instructions could cause permanent damage to the seals in the
actuator. (Use appropriate means to protect the environment
and capture any over flow.) Cycle the bracket several times and
repeat if necessary. Replace and tighten filler cap when finished
(See Fig. 1 and 6).
